Withthe above and other objects in view,

the nature of which will -more fully appear,

as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of the parts asherein fully described, illustrated and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing, forming part of the application, similar characters all the views, and

Figure 1 1s a perspective elevation of a 1 comb provided with a hair measurer embodying my invention; v v V Fig. 2 is a' perspective view of a hair measurer having a flange adapted to be disposed in'the direction of the teeth of the comb when the measurer is fitted onto the comb; and I '7 Fig. 3 is a perspective'view of a hair I measurerin which the flange is adapted to be disposed rearwardly' of the teeth of the comb when the measurer'is in engagement with the comb.

Referring to the drawings,,4 is a hair measurer which is preferably formed of sheet material, and which of an elongated form. A longitudinal portion of the hair measurer is bent to form a channel 5 near one of the longitudinal edges of the measurer, the, channel 5 corresponding to the Copies of this patent may obtained-for of reference indicate corresponding parts in to the teeth of the comb 7, when the channel shaped portion 5 is fitted on the back of the comb 8.

- Specification of LettersjPatent. Patented Sept. 11, '7. Application filed March 14, 1917. Serial No. 154,893.

'As shown in the drawing, the comb has longitudinal grooves 9 between the back and the teeth of the comb into which the longitudinal edges ,ofthe channelv portion 5 are adapted to enter, and thereby prevent any lateral displacement of the measurer on the comb. The measurer being formed of sheet-- material, the channel portion of same ,is adapted I to yield sufficiently be fitted tightly on to the ba fof the comb. In Fig. 2 the measurer t is shown with a narrower flange 6 extending from the" channel portlon 5 at an angle different 7 from thatshown in Fig. 1. Y v In Fig. 3the flange 6 is larger than the flanges of the measurers in the other figures, and at a different portion 5 I claim:

1. In combination with a comb having a back of substantially circular cross section; and shaped to present a longitudinal groove 1 at each side of said comb between said back and the teeth of the comb,;and hair measurer adapted to detachablyf embrace said back and engage said grooves and having a measuring flange extending therefrom.

2. A hair measurer formed of flatsheet material having a, straight flange and a channel portion at an angleto said straight portion, said channel portion adapted to 'fit angle, with its channel i 7O .60 i that it can the back of a comb so as topresent the straight flange portion at an angle to the teethof the comb. r V

3.- A hair measurer comprising a channel portion adapted to fit the back'of a comb I and a straight portion extending from one- I of the longitudinal edges-of the channel portion and adapted to be disposed at an angle to the teeth of a comb when the channel portion engages the back of a comb. v
